The Human Condition

I messed it up in two seconds flat
How did I manage that?
I’m asking myself the same thing
All I can do it apologise
But I see in your eyes that I did you wrong
But it’s like this
I’m trying to live my live so righteous
But the moments that ain’t my finest are the ones I can’t forget
And I know that time is a healer but it feels so frightening
I wish I could’ve done the right thing instead of dealing with regret
But despite it all you love me through the hurt
It’s a blessing and a curse
The ones you love the most bear the worst
And I put you through the pain you don’t deserve
Won’t be the last and it ain’t the first important lesson that I’ve learned
How could I make such a dumb mistake?
Ten point zero earthquake ripped through the Richter of my heart
Though 99% of the time I try to do what’s right
Sometimes I fail
But it’s like this
I’m trying to live my live so righteous
But the moments that ain’t my finest are the ones I can’t forget
And I’m in crisis
I’m only gonna change my mind if
I give myself a little kindness instead of dealing with regret
But despite it all you love me through the hurt
It’s a blessing and a curse
The ones you love the most bear the worst
And I put you through the pain you don’t deserve
Won’t be the last and it ain’t the first important lesson that I’ve learned
We can fall down like dominoes by hurting the ones we love the most
The human condition I suppose but it doesn’t make me feel better
We can fall down like dominoes by hurting the ones we love the most
The human condition I suppose but it doesn’t make me feel better
But despite it all you love me through the hurt
It’s a blessing and a curse
The ones you love the most bear the worst
And I put you through the pain you don’t deserve
Won’t be the last and it ain’t the first important lesson that I’ve learned
We can fall down like dominoes by hurting the ones we love the most
The human condition I suppose but it doesn’t make me feel better
We can fall down like dominoes by hurting the ones we love the most
The human condition I suppose but it doesn’t make me feel better

It feels so good in your arms babe
Didn't think that's something I'd say
Want you to wrap your love around me
But it wasn't always this way
'Cause I've been hurt I've been broken
Licking my wounds in the shade
So if you want me gotta really want me
'Cause I'm used to running away
You're so heavenly, you're so divine
And now I can't believe that you're all mine
Slow and steadily, we took our time
It's a ride, 365
I wish I'd woken up sooner
Shed all my skin from the past
Your 20/20 on my 30/30s
Got my heart beating so fast
You're gonna show me devotion
I'm gonna show you the same
So if you want me and you really want me
Then I'll be ready to stay
You're so heavenly, you're so divine
And now I can't believe that you're all mine
Slow and steadily, we took our time
It's a ride, 365
You're so good to me
I don't know why
I'm my own worst enemy most of the time
But eventually I saw the light
It's a ride, 365
I know the pieces of our history are a mix of highs and lows
But when there's trouble, in the thick of it I always know I'm yours
I know I'm yours
You're so heavenly, you're so divine
And now I can't believe that you're all mine
Slow and steadily, we took our time
It's a ride, 365
You're so good to me
I don't know why
I'm my own worst enemy most of the time
But eventually I saw the light
It's a ride, 365

MUNA

It doesn't have to be lonely when you're figuring things out on your own
But you don't need to worry you've made your carbon copy to play with like a dog with a bone
The work you've done in your own time would have room to spare on one grain of sand
So you do your merry dance like a monkey swinging branches won't let go 'til there's one in your hand
If you're looking for sympathy
You ain't gonna get a lot from me
'Cause it isn't a mystery
Why you always end up unhappy
And it's such a cliché that you're walking away at the first sign of discontent
Just as long as somebody thinks you're heaven sent
I know I'm passive aggressive, and I don't want you to think that I'm cruel
But I think a conversation before overt flirtation seems like a pretty standard rule
You're nothing if not consistent, you sure love a girl who knows how to sing
So just listen to some MUNA with coffee or kombucha and wait for your next pretty thing
If you're looking for sympathy
You ain't gonna get a lot from me
'Cause it isn't a mystery
Why you always end up unhappy
And as the cycle goes round again
You get back in touch with all your friends
Who prop you up while you play pretend
But you're just racing to the next dead end, yeah
And it's such a cliché that you're walking away at the first sign of discontent
Just as long as somebody thinks you're heaven sent
And you say it's a shame but you've done it again with a lifetime of confidence
'Cause there's always somebody to think you're heaven sent
If you're looking for sympathy
You ain't gonna get shit from me
'Cause it isn't a mystery
Why you always end up unhappy
And it's such a cliché that you're walking away at the first sign of discontent
Just as long as somebody thinks you're heaven sent
And you say it's a shame but you've done it again with a lifetime of confidence
'Cause there's always somebody to think you're heaven sent

You told me about yourself over wine and candlelight
I should’ve known full well it’d never turn out right
But I needed someone to believe in
Never been one for retreating
So I gave it a go, so I gave it a go, oh
You told me about the hell of the past few years or so
You were vexed by your latest ex who couldn’t seem to let you go
You were healing, quite an achievement
When your scales had been so uneven
So we gave it a go, yeah we gave it a go, oh, oh
So if you want to be free
Don’t mess around and take it out on me
‘Cause I’m thinking seriously
Am I having fun? ‘Cause I’m the one on my knees
I don’t want matrimony
Just a touch of reality
Tell me baby if you’re over me
We tried through the great divide but the strain was just too much
I sent bouquets but you pulled away and we fell straight out of touch
Did my grieving as you were leaving
That’s enough of the self-deceiving
But we gave it a go, but we gave it a go, oh, oh
So if you want to be free
Don’t mess around and take it out on me
‘Cause I’m thinking seriously
Am I having fun? ‘Cause I’m the one on my knees
I don’t want matrimony
Just a touch of reality
Tell me baby if you’re over me
So if you want to be free
Just put me down, turn around and leave
No need for acrimony
Just make the call - we’re done in all honesty
Stop with the ceremony
I just want basic clarity
Tell me baby if you’re over me
Tell me baby if you’re over me
Tell me baby if you’re over me
Tell me baby if you’re over me
Tell me baby if you’re over me
So if you want to be free
Don’t mess around and take it out on me
‘Cause I’m thinking seriously
Am I having fun? ‘Cause I’m the one on my knees
I don’t want matrimony
Just a touch of reality
Tell me baby if you’re over me
So if you want to be free
Just put me down, turn around and leave
No need for acrimony
Just make the call - we’re done in all honesty
Stop with the ceremony
I just want basic clarity
Tell me baby if you’re over me

Least Of My Worries

I'm sorry I've been moaning
I just need some serotonin in my life
I should've stuck to drinking
I don't know what I was thinking Sunday night
And it's probably the wrong thing to be doing
But my dreams seem to have you in all the time
But that's the least of my worries, that's the least of my worries
The evening turns into dawn, turns into days that I waste away until the night
But that's the least of my worries
I've got so much to process
And I miss the easy closeness of a crowd
I know full well I'm only one request from being less lonely but I'm proud
I seem to reside somewhere on a sliding scale between apathy and irrational rage
And I wonder if I will have to retire my grandest designs and try to start acting my age
And it's probably the wrong thing to be doing
But my dreams seem to have you in all the time
But that's the least of my worries, that's the least of my worries
The evening turns into dawn, turns into days that I waste away until the night
But that's the least of my worries
Tomorrow will be brighter
And the burden a little lighter for us all
I'm trying to keep achieving
'Cause I can't help but believe things will move on
And it's probably the wrong thing to be doing
But my dreams seem to have you in all the time
But that's the least of my worries, that's the least of my worries
The evening turns into dawn, turns into days that I waste away until the night
But that's the least of my worries
And it's probably the wrong thing to be doing
But my dreams seem to have you in all the time
But that's the least of my worries, that's the least of my worries
The evening turns into dawn, turns into days that I waste away until the night
But that's the least of my worries
